The first day is the highest dose and goes down from there. Every person reacts differently to it so it is hard to say.

Myself I have no side effects from that amt.
I have had hot flashes and cold sweats from higher dosages given to me for my lupus and for months at a time. If you are a coffee, tea, coke drinker stay away from it while you are on it and maybe that will help with both.

Actually a few weeks ago I finished a "medrol dose pack" same thing, but was only seven days.
